Boris Eifman

For more than 50 years, choreographer Boris Eifman has been delighting fans of classical theater art with skillful productions of works by Russian and foreign authors. The director of ballet performances throughout his creative life is not afraid to experiment, try new things and expand the horizons of the theater. Boris Eifman remains one of the best directors on the Russian theater and ballet stage.

Eifman has produced his own productions since 1970. His credits include “Only Love”, “Interrupted Song”, “Two Voices”, “Firebird” to the music of Stravinsky, which made him popular, “The Duel”, “The Idiot”, “Crazy Day”, “The Legend”, “The Master and Margarita” and many others. In recent years, “from the pen” Eifman produced such productions as “The Seagull. Ballet history” based on the play by Chekhov, to the music of Rachmaninov and Sitkovetsky, “The Passion of Moliere, or The Mask of Don Juan” to the music of Mozart and Berlioz, “The Pygmalion Effect”, “Requiem”, “Russian Hamlet”, “Red Giselle” etc. All of them were staged at the Boris Eifman Ballet Theater, and were also shown at other popular venues in Russia and abroad.

Viewers and all those close to the art of theater unanimously call Eifman an innovator. Having started working with classical ballets, he gradually modified the productions. In his works, the choreographer combined academic and pointeless dance with modern musical compositions. Many of Boris Eifman's productions today are accompanied by progressive rock. He has repeatedly used the music of such groups as YES and Pink Floyd. This technique adds more history to the ballet and deeper reveals the message prepared in the plot. Makes the performance more energetic and driving. It is noteworthy that such techniques are appreciated not only by young spectators and critics, but also by adherents of classical approaches to creating ballet productions.

Director Eifman's performances have a special style. It is difficult to confuse him with the works of other authors. The ballet is filled with feelings, and the energy and atmosphere of the works is conveyed in all ways – in dance, scenery, music, costumes, effects, lighting. Boris Yakovlevich uses all available tools to impress the viewer and give him the opportunity to feel the emotions of the characters and deeply feel the story.
